208 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
209 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
210 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
211 first block N times).
213 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
214 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
216 v3.2.1 Sun Jul 14 03:02:26 PDT 1996

242 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
244 - Added some more packet truncation checks.
246 - On systems that have it, use sigset() instead of signal() since
247 signal() has different semantics on these systems.
249 - Fixed some more alignment problems on the alpha.
251 - Add code to massage unprintable characters in the domain and ipx
252 printers. Thanks to John Hawkinson.
254 - Added explicit netmask support. Thanks to Steve Nuchia

257 - Add "sca" keyword (for DEC cluster services) as suggested by Terry
258 Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu)
260 - Add "atalk" keyword as suggested by John Hawkinson.
262 - Added an igrp printer. Thanks to Francis Dupont
263 (francis.dupont@inria.fr)

358 - Fixed an endian bug in the ospf printer. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
361 - Fix rip printer to handle 4.4 BSD sockaddr struct which only uses one
362 octet for the sa_family member. Thanks to Yoshitaka Tokugawa
365 - Don't checksum ip header if we don't have all of it. Thanks to John
366 Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
368 - Print out hostnames if possible in egp printer. Thanks to Jeffrey
372 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
374 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
377 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
378 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
379 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
381 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning

383 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
385 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
387 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
389 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
391 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
392 "released" one in late 1995.
394 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
396 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
398 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
399 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
400 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
402 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
403 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
405 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer

417 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
419 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
421 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
422 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
424 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
425 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
426 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
427 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
428 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
429 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
430 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
432 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
435 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
436 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
437 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
439 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
442 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
443 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
445 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
446 packaged separately).
448 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
450 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
453 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
454 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
456 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
459 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
460 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
462 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
463 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
464 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
465 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
466 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
467 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
468 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
469 with "not ip proto 4".)
471 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
472 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
474 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
476 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
477 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
478 Add && and || operators
480 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
482 - Fix bug with -c flag.
484 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
486 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
489 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
490 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
492 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
494 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
495 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
496 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
498 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
499 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
500 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
502 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
503 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
505 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
507 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
509 - Internal release (never publically exported).
511 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
513 - Various byte ordering fixes.
515 - Add truncation checks.
517 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
519 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
521 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
523 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
526 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
527 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
529 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
531 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
533 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
535 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
536 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
538 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
540 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
542 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
544 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
546 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
547 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
549 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
550 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
551 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
552 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
554 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
555 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
556 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
557 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
559 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
560 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
561 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
563 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
566 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
568 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
569 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
570 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
571 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
573 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
575 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
577 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
579 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
580 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
582 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
583 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
585 - IP options are now printed.
587 - RIP packets are now printed.
589 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
590 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
591 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
592 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
594 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
595 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
598 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
599 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
600 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
601 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
604 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
605 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
606 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
607 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
608 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
609 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
610 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
611 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
613 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
615 - Initial public release.
